Bytnerowicz, Andrzej; Arbaugh, Michael J.; Schilling, Susan L., technical coordinators. 1998. Proceedings of the international symposium on air pollution and climate change effects on forest ecosystems; 1996 February 5-9; Riverside, CA. Gen. Tech. Rep. PSW-GTR-166. Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture; 332 p. The purpose of the International Symposium on Air Pollution and Climate Change Effects on Forest Ecosystems held February 5-9, 1996 in Riverside, California, was to summarize results of several years of scientific collaboration between the United States and European specialists about air pollution and climate change effects in Central European and North American forests. More than 40 technical presentations given by scientists and forest managers from the United States and Central Europe were divided into 5 sessions discussing mechanisms of air pollution and climate change effects on plants; air pollution status of forests; results from several gradient and case studies on the effects of air pollution/climate change on forests; information on forest health in several Central European countries; and information regarding photosynthetic active radiation measurements and their use in forest health monitoring. Retrieval Terms: effects on forests, monitoring, nitrogen deposition, ozone, sulfur dioxide Technical Coordinators Andrzej Bytnerowicz is Ecologist, Michael J. Arbaugh is Statistician, and Susan L. Schilling is Computer Programmer with the Atmospheric Deposition Effects in Western Forest Ecosystems Research Unit at the Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, 4955 Canyon Crest Dr., Riverside, CA 92507.
